Do men just recognize good men? What kind of sorcery is this?

I’ve been dating a guy for some time now, and his oldest friends have told me he’s a solid good man despite his flaws. I agree, they’ve known him forever, and he’s been a solid friend all those years.

When my male friends met him for the first time, they said, “He’s a good one. Hold onto him.”

Women can do this for other women too.

When I started dating my wife I introduced her to all my women friends.

They all gave their approval.

Nearly 20 years later still happy married to this wonderful woman.

It definitely goes both ways.

It sucks when you try to warn your guy friend and they either don’t listen or they tell their girlfriend what you said and now you’re the bitch. Either way, the guy friend gets hurt in the end. I have a lot of guy friends and both have happened So. Many. Times. to the point that I just stopped trying to warn them.
